“I remember praying for a military coup during the Watergate bullsh*t. Nowadays, the military seems to be a part of the Deep State”.
You probably remember Brezhnev suggesting that to Nixon. He said Nixon could surround the White House with tanks with their guns aiming outward.
That I don’t remember but if it had happened, it would have made for great TV just as the shooting of Woodward and Bernstein in front of the WaPo building would have been dramatic. And Mark Felt’s suicide by hanging in his FBI office... and the hits just keep on coming in the good old imagination. Who oh why did Nixon have to be such a good guy?
